Positive psychology is an approach to psychology that emphasizes the importance of positive emotions, traits, and states in understanding individuals. It is concerned with the scientific study of what makes life worth living, focussing on the pursuit of well-being and fulfilment, rather than solely on the alleviation of suffering. It draws from a range of disciplines such as happiness psychology, motivation, resilience, and well-being.
